Innocent or Not

Ace look at Bethany from afar and was truly disgusted by her. She sits there with her friends and laugh about nothing important; it only ticked Ace off more.

"So you want this girl beaten because she messed with your girlfriend?" Noah says with a cocky grin. Ace scowls at him and sends him a glare. "Oh you're serious! Well then I might have to meet this girlfriend of yours."

Ace only smiled sarcastically at his friend. Though he didn't want any male to met Lia , he was okay with just Noah meeting her. "Look I don't want her dead. I'm no murder." Noah smirked at that and Ace only shook his head. "I just want to teach her a lesson to not mess with Lia or there will be consequences."

"Oh ... oh so her name is Lia . That seems like a cute name." Noah smiles as he sparkles his eyes to Ace. He only looked at his friend with disgust.

"Can you do it or not?"

Noah thought for a second before agreeing. He might be his friend but he was still his boss . "I got you man." Noah pats Ace's shoulder before walking out of his office. Ace looked at the clock and nearly cursed himself . He was going to be late for school again.

"Hi." She whispers taking her books out and putting them into her green bag. "Is this what friends do? Hit each other in the head?" Lia asks with a frown.

Carson chuckles before leaning on the locker next to Lia's . "Of course. Well at least when you're my friend." She evilly grins which Lia laughs and shakes her head. She closed her locked and leaned on it with Carson .

"So you're telling me that I'm your friend?" She beamed as she looked at Carson with hope. She really wanted a girl - friend so they can have sleepovers and do each other's hairs.
